Students conducting archeological investigation
Develop an appreciation of human diversity and an understanding of different values and ethical beliefs in a complex, international world. You will learn about anthropology in a variety of settings, including community agencies, museums, governmental institutions, health agencies, and neighborhood associations. Whether in laboratories or in the field, faculty will guide you in archaeology, ethnography, biological anthropology, and forensics research.
After his bachelor’s and master’s studies in anthropology at IUI, Ryan Logan earned his Ph.D. in Applied Medical Anthropology and a master’s degree in public health from the University of South Florida. He focused his Ph.D. research on community health workers (CHWs), taking him back to work with people he’d met in Indiana. “I saw these workers as a huge missing gap in the health care system in the U.S., because they’re doing all their work outside of a clinic or hospital.” Logan’s Ph.D. research showed “how they advocate, which is a form of caregiving, and how they were being formally integrated into the workforce in Indiana.”
Logan is teaching at Stan State and doing research to study promotores de salud (health promoters) on the California-Mexico border.
